And I’m here to tell you, it’s really good!
I promise, you will not miss traditional buffalo chicken wings!
Well, maybe a little bit, but really not that much!
And when you know that you’ve saved a ton of fat and calories, you’ll want to make this all the time.
Imagine the above dish with a bottle of your favorite hot sauce sitting next to it.
Then imagine the the blue cheese crumbles and chopped celery topping on top of the hot chicken and rice.
It is melt-in-your mouth delicious!
The beauty of it is that you can make it as hot and spicy as you want to by adding more hot sauce and chili pepper.
However, I prefer to make it on the mild side and then add hot sauce to taste.
Easy to Make recipe
The first step is to cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into one inch pieces and place into the crockpot.
Then throw on the onions, carrots, celery, chicken broth, tomato sauce, chili pepper, ranch dressing mix, and hot sauce, mix well, and let the crockpot do it’s thing.
Once it’s all cooked through, you’ll add the cream cheese and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
In the meantime, cook your brown rice so it’s ready to go.
